Congratulations on your new DriveStation Duo! With dual hard drives, the

DriveStation Duo gives you many options for large capacity and easy-to-use

redundancy.

Insert the DriveNavigator CD into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

DriveStation Setup

On a PC, DriveNavigator should automatically launch.

If it does not, click [Start] and select [Run]. In the Run

dialog, enter “d:\DriveNavi.exe” (where d is the drive

letter of your CD-ROM drive). Click [OK] to continue.

For a Mac, open the CD and click [RaidUtility.dmg] to

begin installation.

Click [Begin Installation]. Click [Next] to

step through the installation. Mac users

can skip this step.

After completing the setup wizard, your DriveStation Duo is installed and ready to

use!

By default, your Duo is conﬁ gured in RAID 1 mode. In RAID 1, data can be

recovered even if one of the hard disks in DriveStation fails. However, the total

available space is 1/2 of the maximum space.

If you prefer a different RAID conﬁ guration, or if you prefer to use DriveStation

as a single drive, you may use the RAID Utility to change your DriveStation’s

RAID settings. Turn to the next page for instructions on using the RAID Utility.

Alternately, you may change the RAID mode with the RAID mode button as

described in the Reference Guide.

Out of the box, the DriveStation is formatted with FAT32, allowing it to be used

with most common operating systems. If you’re going to use it with programs

that generate ﬁ lesizes larger than 4 GB, such as backup software, reformat the

DriveStation with NTFS or Mac OS Extended.

By default, all drives on the DriveStation are divided into 2 TB partitions. This

allows older versions of Windows, such as 32-bit Windows XP and Windows

Server 2003, to read the drives without additional software or service packs.

Users of newer operating systems may wish to re-partition the DriveStation with

larger partitions, but this is not recommended for 32-bit Windows XP. Windows

Server 2003 may be able to read larger partitions after the latest service pack is

applied.

The wizard will step you through setting up your DriveStation Duo, conﬁ guring

your RAID settings, and reformatting if desired.

The DriveStation Duo may be connected to your computer with a USB

connection.

Using the RAID Utility

The RAID Utility allows you to conﬁ gure your DriveStation Duo in several modes:

Normal mode - Appears to your computer as two separate hard drives. Note that

normal mode only works with a USB connection.

Spanning mode - Appears to your computer as one large hard drive.

RAID 0 mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. Higher performance

than Spanning mode.

RAID 1 mode - Appears to your computer as a single drive. The second drive is

an exact copy of the ﬁ rst drive, for redundancy.

Notes:

・Changing the mode of the drives in your Duo will erase all data on them! Back

up any important data before using the RAID Utility.

On a PC, launch the RAID Utility by clicking on [RAID Utility] in the DriveStation

Duo program group, or from the Start menu.

On a Mac, double-click the RaidUtility icon on your desktop.

Using the RAID Utility

Once launched, the RAID Utility will brieﬂ y scan for your DriveStation

Duo. This may take a few seconds.

The initial screen will show your current conﬁ guration. If your Duo is

new, it will probably be in RAID 1 mode.

To change the RAID mode, click [Conﬁ g] and choose [Disk Conﬁ g].

Using the RAID Utility

Select the drive structure that you’d like to use.

On a PC, the disk can be formatted with FAT32 or NTFS. Select the

format that you prefer. FAT32 is compatible with most Windows PCs

and Macs. NTFS offers the best performance with Windows, but isn’t

compatible with Mac. NTFS is recommended for use with backup, video

editing and other programs that may need ﬁ lesizes larger than 4 GB.

If you are using Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 without SP1 or

later, use compatability mode. Compatability mode will divide drives into

2 TB partitions that can be read by Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

Click [Yes], and [Yes] again. Understand that this will erase any data on

the drive!

To Windows Users

The message below may be displayed when you try to change the

disk conﬁ guration (such as by selecting NTFS format) using the RAID

Management Utility.

If this message appears, wait until the changes to the disk conﬁ guration

are complete and “The setting was successfully changed” is displayed,

then click [Cancel]. The disk is now ready to use.

If you inadvertently click [Format disk] in the above message, one of

the following things will happen.

• If “You do not have sufﬁ cient rights to perform this operation” is

displayed, click [OK].

• If “Not Formattable” is displayed, click [Close].

• If the standard Windows format screen is displayed, click [Close].

Note: If the drive is formatted with the Windows format utility,

changes to the disk conﬁ guration may not complete normally.

If this happens, use the RAID Management Utility to set the

disk conﬁ guration again.

Using the RAID Utility

The DriveStation Duo includes several optional utilities for use with Windows

computers. To install and use these utilities, insert the CD-ROM that came

with your DriveStation Duo into a Windows PC.

Click [Begin Installation] and then [Additional Software Installation].

TurboPC can increase data transfer speeds for your Buffalo product.

TurboCopy uses caching to increase data transfer speeds.

Backup Utility is software to back up and restore data from your PC. To use,

select a source drive to be backed up and a target location for backup data.

RAMDISK Utility uses the memory in your computer as a virtual hard drive

“RAM drive”. The RAM drive is recognised as a hard drive by your computer,

and you can read and write data to it like any other hard drive.

Buffalo Tools Launcher lets you easily launch software from the Buffalo

utility suite. Just click an icon to launch the desired Buffalo tool or utility.

eco Manager lets you put the DriveStation into sleep mode to save power.

It works in RAID 0, RAID 1, and Spanning modes. Normal mode is not

supported.

SecureLockMobile encrypts the data on your DriveStation, preventing the

data from being accessed by anyone but you.

NovaBACKUP is backup software.
